Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great for peace and quiet while still being close to the city center. The rooms were basic but sufficient, though they were too hot and led to a sleepless night due to noise. The service was excellent, especially the helpful staff at check-in. Dining was good but could have been better with more variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with nice rooms but some issues that need attention. The service is friendly and helpful, and the location is great for outdoor activities. The dining options vary in quality. Facilities are decent but could be improved.
The hotel offers adequate rooms with private bathrooms and access to the gym, but noise from neighbors and thin walls can be a distraction. Service is very helpful overall, though there were instances of missed Sunday service. The location is impressive and useful for attending events, especially for sports activities at Loughborough. The dining experience, while basic, provides good value, and the facilities are limited but satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was centrally located near the corridor entry, which was loud due to the slamming door. The room was cold and had a damp smell, but it was spacious with a disabled person's bathroom. The service was a bit inconsistent, with friendly and helpful staff but also some delays in responding to requests. The location was excellent, perfect for the BUCS rowing regatta and for easy transport access, but it lacked cleanliness. The dining options were limited, although the accommodation was satisfactory. Overall, it was an average stay with some highs and lows.
